Chapter 201: Let’s find a place to have a drink and chat?
A few days later, in Seoul, in an office of SM company.

"Then I'll leave the rest to you, uncle."

Sunny looked at the man in front of her and bowed slightly.

The man whom Sunny calls uncle is Lee Soo-man, the president of SM Entertainment and a legendary figure in Korean entertainment.

At this moment, he was looking at Sunny with a smile and curiosity in his eyes.

"Sunggyu, you can put the endorsement aside for now. What I'm more concerned about now is who the other party is that makes you care so much."

"Ah~, no one, just a friend."

When Sunny heard her uncle's words, she immediately lowered her head guiltily and was afraid to look at her uncle.

Although the other party is her uncle, he has another identity, that is, the boss of SM company and also the boss of her group.

As an idol in his girl group, and a well-known one at that, there are clear provisions in the contract that prohibit dating during the contract period.

So after hearing what Lee Soo-man said, she subconsciously denied her relationship with Huang Xu.

But the Lee Soo Man sitting opposite her is a veteran who has been in the business for many years. How could Sunny hide her guilty behavior from him?

What's more, he discovered Sunny's abnormal behavior from the reports of his subordinates some time ago.

She started living with Huang Xu last year, then went to Hua Xia for a trip before the New Year, and now moved into this new apartment.

It can be said that he basically knows something about what Sunny has done during this period of time.

I also learned that Sunny's current boyfriend is a Chinese and comes from a decent family.

Therefore, Lee Soo Man did not care about Sunny's denial at all and just said it lightly.

"Okay, if you say we are friends, then we are friends. When you feel it is appropriate, bring him back to me."

"Uncle, you."

Sunny raised her head in shock and looked at the uncle in front of her with some horror. She didn't expect that her uncle would be so easy to talk to.

After all, in her impression, if her uncle encountered such a thing, he would be very opposed to it and would try his best to stop it.

Even if I were her niece, there would be no exception.

This is also the reason why she rarely appears in front of him when she is in the company.

If it wasn't for Huang Xu's company wanting to find their juniors EXO to be their spokesperson, I wouldn't be here, looking for my uncle's help.

It can even be said that although she worked in her uncle's company in the past few years and lived upstairs and downstairs from her uncle, she rarely sought his help.

Therefore, her uncle's performance today was indeed a little beyond her imagination.

The first thing was that I spoke on behalf of Huang Xu about wanting EXO to endorse and promote his software. After hearing this, he agreed without hesitation.

And now, after finding out that she had a boyfriend, she was not angry. Instead, she felt that the time was right, so she brought Huang Xu back to see him.

This behavior is very similar to a normal uncle-nephew relationship, but it is quite different from the impression she had of her uncle.

That's why he looked at his uncle with a shocked expression and disbelief, just wanting to confirm whether he had heard it wrong.

When Lee Soo Man looked at Sunny's incredulous eyes, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but twitch twice.

He didn't expect that he would have such a bad image in front of his niece.

Of course, he didn’t care about Sunny’s impression of him or his attitude before.

After all, although he is Sunny's uncle, his more important identity is the boss of SM company, so he naturally needs to consider issues more from the company's perspective.

Therefore, when facing Sunny in the past, he did not give her too much special treatment.

But the situation is a little different now.

He still remembered that when he was looking at the report from his subordinates, he was thinking about whether he should ask someone to warn Sunny and ask her to be more careful. Then, he suddenly had an idea and asked someone to investigate who Sunny's boyfriend was.

The results would have been fine if we hadn't investigated, but once we did, they were jaw-dropping.

The other party was not the person in the entertainment industry as he had imagined. On the contrary, he had basically nothing to do with the entertainment industry.

However, although the other party has nothing to do with the entertainment industry and is not even Korean, he is now the boss of a startup company.

And according to his own investigation, although the other party was just a restaurant owner, he made more than 10 billion won in profits in just a few months.

In the past, he had never thought that he could make so much money by running a restaurant.

Those small roadside restaurants that I never paid attention to on a normal day can actually make so much money after they have grown to a certain scale.

Although it is not clear now, how much money the other party made from the restaurant franchise.

Just looking at the franchise fees paid by more than 100 franchise stores, it has reached more than 10 billion won.

You have to know that he has been working hard in Korea for so many years, and his current net worth is only more than 100 billion won.

The other party has earned so much money in just a few months, so how could I not value him?
Of course, there is one more important thing, that is, in addition to the restaurant, the other party also has another industry, which he values ​​more.

That is Mayu, the women’s menstrual period APP.

Although I don't know much about the Internet and have never communicated with the other party about his ideas and plans, I see that he has already achieved popularity among Korean women, and he is someone worthy of my attention.

This is also the reason why, when I heard Sunny’s request just now, saying that she was planning to ask EXO to endorse the software, I agreed so readily.

It was also the reason why he treated Sunny so kindly and asked her to bring Huang Xu back to see him someday.

But looking at Sunny's expression, he could only smile and say:

"Why, as an elder, can't I show some concern for you and meet the other party?"

"Sure, uncle. When he comes back, I'll bring him over to see you?"

Sunny looked at her uncle. Although she was a little confused about what he was thinking, looking at the current situation, she naturally would not ruin the atmosphere.

So I just followed what Lee Soo Man said and continued speaking.

Seeing that Sunny was so considerate and said that she would bring Huang Xu to visit him when he came back, Lee Soo Man was very satisfied. After chatting with Sunny for a few words, he let Sunny go.

After Sunny left Lee Soo Man's office, she first breathed a sigh of relief, patted her full chest to calm her heartbeat, and then a puzzled expression appeared on her face.

She really couldn't understand why her uncle's behavior today was so strange and abnormal.

But after thinking for a moment and realizing that she really couldn't guess it, she put the matter aside.

Then he turned and went to the stairwell not far away, walked up to the top floor, looked around and saw that there was no one around, then he called Huang Xu.

And after the call was connected, he immediately began to brag about his achievements and asked for a reward from Huang Xu. "Have you thought about how to thank me?"

"Thank u?"

Huang Xu looked at the phone in his hand, obviously caught off guard by Sunny's question, but after a brief moment of daze, he reacted and then confirmed with Sunny in surprise.

"You mean, you've already dealt with the spokesperson issue?"

"Yes, I have already helped you. Have you thought about how to thank me?"

"I can thank you in any way I want. It just depends on what you need."

The surprise in Huang Xu's tone was obviously unable to be suppressed, and then he began to make promises to Sunny.

"As long as it's what you like, I'll try my best to satisfy you."

"Really?"

Sunny felt Huang Xu's happiness, and she herself felt a little happy inside, but then she felt depressed.

After all, as a member of Girls' Generation, her boyfriend chose her junior group instead of herself as the product spokesperson. She was obviously dissatisfied, so she asked Huang Xu about her doubts.

"Why do you have to choose them as your spokesperson? Don't we have more fans than them?"

"Well, of course you have more fans than them, but we chose them because they are more suitable. Among their fan base, more women account for the majority."

Huang Xu also heard a hint of dissatisfaction in Sunny's tone, so he quickly explained to her.

In fact, it is just as he said. Now it is obviously more appropriate for him to choose EXO as the spokesperson for the Mayu APP than Girls' Generation.

The first issue is the composition of fans.

Although Girls' Generation has a special status in South Korea, as a girl group, they have as many female fans as boy groups.

However, the main location for this promotion is not in South Korea, but in China, so choosing EXO as a boy group is obviously more appropriate.

Among their fan base in China, the proportion of female fans is significantly higher than that of Girls' Generation.

That is why Huang Xu chose them as the image spokespersons for the Mayu APP.

Of course, these were just the reasons Huang Xu gave to Sunny, just to stabilize Sunny.

In fact, the real reason why Huang Xu chose them was not because of EXO’s current situation, but because of the Chinese people within EXO’s team.

You have to know that it is already 2013, and the resurgence of Chinese idol culture is just around the corner.

The four returning idols, who were the initiators of the rise of Chinese idol culture here and the important participants thereafter, were about to flee Seoul and return to China.

Although they are just foreign members of the EXO team now, when they return to China and are selected by capital in 2014, they will cause a huge wave.

It is also because of them that the Chinese entertainment industry has directly entered the era of traffic.

As people chosen by the traffic, they naturally caused a huge wave, which lasted for several years before slowly fading away for various reasons.

Huang Xu chose the EXO team as the spokespersons for the Mayu APP because he was impressed by them.

And when signing the contract next time, we will not only sign a contract with their team, but also prepare to sign a contract with them individually.

Even this contract would be better if it were signed for a few more years.

In this way, when they return to China and become top stars, they can rely on this contract to carry out various publicity.

In addition to this, there is another reason why Huang Xu chose them, that is, the current Korean entertainment industry has relatively little contact with China and has not adapted to the star quotations of China.

All in all, they can be said to be a good and affordable choice now.

That's why Huang Xu made such a move.

However, Huang Xu did not tell Sunny about the following. He only explained the superficial reasons. After seeing that Sunny understood, he directly changed the subject.

"Sunny, what is the outside world's reaction to Tara's incident now?"

"How is the outside world responding?"

When Sunny heard Huang Xu's question, she no longer pursued the issue of why Huang Xu did not choose them as spokespeople. Instead, she enthusiastically began to tell Huang Xu about the biggest news in Seoul, no, in the whole of South Korea in recent days.

Ever since Huang Xu informed James to start his whitewashing plan a few days ago, all major media in Seoul quickly became lively.

The evidence that Huang Xu asked Park So-yeon to collect last year was directly released by James to major media outlets.

So the front-page entertainment headlines these days are basically all reports on this incident.

The biggest scandal in the Korean entertainment industry last year, the Tara bullying incident that was on the headlines for a long time, turned out to be fake.

Liu Huaying, who had been portrayed as the victim before, turned out to be the real bully.

After bullying his teammates and making them quit the team, he not only did not admit his mistake, but instead used his family connections to start slandering others.

This turned Tara, a popular girl group at the time, into a pariah.

As a victim, she relies on this popularity to appear in various programs continuously, and she even talks about this incident from time to time.

Therefore, this extreme reversal has completely ignited the emotions of the Korean people.

First, they expressed their apologies to Tara and the others, and then they expressed their disgust towards Liu Huaying, the culprit.

This has resulted in the current situation being extremely lively both inside and outside the circle.

Huang Xu was listening to Sunny's story with a smile on his face.

After all, this matter can be said to be led by him.

Helping my idol to clear his name a few years in advance will satisfy my heart.

And the most important thing is that these idols are now subordinates of his own company, which makes Huang Xu even happier.

Therefore, Huang Xu chatted with Sunny for a while, and promised that he would give Sunny a satisfactory gift when he returned this time before hanging up the phone.

On the other side, Sunny happily hung up the phone after getting Huang Xu's assurance.

Just as she put away the phone and prepared to leave, she was startled by a figure appearing behind her.

"Omo, why are you here?"

"I'll be here until you get here, looking for a place to have a drink and chat?"
